Bheja Fry

Hmmm...now that looks real neat (lol)

We had a Bheja Fry competetion in AOL & from Technical support We had to do a print ad on Reebok Tea.

Myself (Mascot) , Deepak (Graphic designer), Guru & Rony (Fittings incharge) jammed up for a brain storming on the topic & this was the best We could get.

We secured the 2nd place for the print ad.

Hurraaaaaay " Kallnan Makkala Choice "

From Ruin 2 Realm

Strange are the ways of Life - - - :)

Untill 20th of August 2007 1800hrs Vishwanath.N was a Bachelor & then came the Magic Girl Soumya in an Orange saari with Her Parents & Brother & took My breath away.

Just 2mins & 30secs of conversation & I felt Soumya may be the one made for Me.

As Kiran & Ramya are leaving for U.S. Engagement fixed on 2nd Sep 2007.

Hardly have any time to know Soumya or the other way round , poor Soumya doesn't have much time to know Vishwanath.

Strange but true , WE have decided to live together for the rest of OUR lives.

Sri's Engagement

Independence day Jodi

Let Me first start with a Burppppppppp .............. food was just too good for Me.
Finally without any issues at work got my Vac for Sri's engagement.
Departure from Bengalooru : 2200hrs on 14th august 2007

Arrival at Rayadurga : 0815hrs on 15th august 2007

A quick shower , blessings from Lord Shiva & the celebration starts.

Idly-Vada-Kesaribath for breakfast---too good

Shailaja (the bride) welcomes Sridhar with a RED rose Bouquet.

Both take on the stage (no stage fear at all---just kidding).
Exchange of dress material & it's make up time.

Back on stage , this time with more confidence & more smiles than before.

Rings exchanged ( oh! did I forget the Cellphone exchange & the Heart photo stand)

Family photograph

Being the official photographer , was little too busy with the clicks :)

Cake cutting , now they seem to be more comfortable.

My heart felt pities (he he he) for standing so long for the photo session - Sri & Shailaja looked exhausted.

Late Lunch

Little did WE (boys gang) bother to wait for them for Lunch--- it was real satisfying food.
As usual after food is a nice nap.
Woke up at 1730hrs - got ready for the train & off We were to Bengalooru.

Strange but True I fell in Love with the Mountain & the rocks at the background of the Wedding Hall.
Dinner on train no 584 , a memorable one (packing that surprised everyone).

Mungaru Maleya hinde !

The 1st only Cousins Trip :-
Destination : Madikeri
Date : 16th & 17th of June

It couldn't have been any better or anything more that anyone of us could have asked for.

Pleasant moments with laughter unlimited was the only soul motive & target achieved.

Journey kicks off at 0030hrs & arrival at Madikeri 0630hrs.

A warm welcome by Mr.Puttappa & Mrs.Sachi into their Estate Homestay. A quick shower & superb breakfast with home made honey.

Mist at Talakaveri

Took off to Talakaveri , & that is when we experienced the Mungaru Male effect. Clouds sailing next to You & the Mist kissing Your cheeks , the aroma of wet earth & the coffee beans.

Parle brother's at Abbe

Singing all the way we returned to Madikeri bus stand where we had our lunch & from there to Abbe Falls.

Snacks Time after a Drenched return

On the Way We visited Omkaareshwara Temple & back to the Estate. Had some real good snacks & sat down for the family conversation.

Dinner time... wow the Mango Chutney !

Dinner time with the gaslight ON :- Probably one of the best Dinner I've had. The Mango chutney was just awesome , oh ! Sachi aunty is the next best to my Mother in cooking.

Group Snap with Mr.Puttappa & Mrs.Sachi Puttappa

The hospitality of Coorgi's is the Best , with half our mind on the Estate We had to leave to Kushalanagar.

Dubare Elephant training camp

Dubare Elephant training camp was the place where Chinmayi , Aishu & Shriya enjoyed the most.

" Golden Temple "

From Dubare to Kushalnagar for Lunch & from there to the Famous Golden Temple. Wonders are created when Men meet Mountains & thats what the Golden Temple is all about.

A sudden plan to visit Srirangapatna & to catch up with the old Men's gang there who had come from Nanjanagudu. All tired we return back to Bengalooru.

The Memories will be cherished for long !!!!!!!!

" Skanda "

16th June 2007 19:32 hrs marks the entry of another Cub into the Family.

Instantly named as " SKANDA" & the 1 who did not want to wait another 2months for his arrival on Earth.

The time he Chose was very unfair where Myself & Father had been out of station.

After spending 22days in the captivity of Appolo Hospital he finally arrives home & composing this post flashes his sweet smile across My mind.

Wishing My Skanda dear all Success !!!!!!!!
